Law School...?

Recently I have came to the determination that I should go ahead and take my education to the fullest extent of my capabilities. I have the support of my long time girlfriend, which is great. With the economy being the way it is, and myself not have a degree as of yet, really affords me the time to go ahead and strive for the most that I can. My industries are almost bankrupt, staffing and mortgage, so I might as well. Ideally I would like to get a job as a law enforement officer in some sort of capacity, but since I keep hearing how every municpality is broke, I feel that I should keep striving forward.

I know how most people feel about individuals with a law degree, but i say it today, I will not do criminal law. I don't have the capacity to defend people that are most of the time guilty, and looking for a way out. Granted there are those that are innocent, but I don't see the ratio being that being  high to where I could justify doing it taking the chance of always defending the innocent in that capacity.

And then again on the other side, I would not want to prosecute those that are innocent. So, I think that at this point in time, I will still try law enforcement in whatever capacity that i can. Why, because it has always been a dream.
